Cytokinins and cytokinin nucleosides are purine derivatives with potential anticancer activity. N(6)-furfuryladenosine (FAdo, kinetin-riboside) displays anti-proliferative and apoptogenic activity against various human cancer cell lines, and FAdo has recently been shown to suppress tumor growth in

Cytokinins and cytokinin nucleosides are purine derivatives with potential anticancer activity both in vitro and in vivo. N(6)-furfuryladenosine (kinetin riboside, KR) displays antiproliferative and apoptogenic activity against various human cancer cell lines and has recently been shown to suppress

Background and objective: Rosmarinic acid is considered as one of the most important secondary metabolites in medicinal plants especially of family Lamiaceae. Rosmarinic acid can prevent both the tumor initiation and promotion stages of

Transformed clones from a shooty tobacco crown gall tumor, induced byAgrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA1501, having a Tn1831 insertion in the auxin locus, were investigated for their T-DNA structure and expression. In addition to clones with the expected phenotype, i.e. phytohormone autonomy,

BT37 is a crown gall teratoma incited on tobacco by Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing pTi-T37, a nopaline-type Ti plasmid. Treatment of this cloned tumor tissue with kinetin at 1 mg/liter results in the formation of relatively normal-appearing shoots. These shoots can be induced to root and set

Explants of genetic tumors, tumors initiated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains B-6 and T-37, and excised pith plugs from Nicotiana glauca, N. langsdorffii, and N. glauca-langsdorffii were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium. All cultures, pith callus and tumors with the exception of N.

Ti plasmid mutants derived from Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain Ach5 that induce tumors of abnormal morphology have been analyzed. On tobacco, A. tumefaciens mutant strain LBA4060 induces tumors that specifically give rise to shoots. Shoots continue to grow from in vitro cultured bacteria-free

DNA isolated from various Nicotiana tabacum cell types, differing in their degree of hormone autotrophy and incubated in the presence of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd), was analyzed by isopycnic CsCl gradient centrifugation. All cell types incorporate BrdUrd into DNA in such a way that hybrid DNA is

OBJECTIVE Bcl-2 is a protein that inhibits apoptosis, leading to cell survival. The Bcl-2 family has six different anti-apoptotic proteins, three pro-apoptotic proteins that are similar in structure, and other integrating proteins that function as promotors or inhibitors in the progression of

Cytokinins are important adenine derivatives that serve as hormones to control many processes in plants. They were discovered as factors that promote cell division in tobacco tissue cultures and have been shown also to regulate several other developmental events. Kinetin which was isolated 50 years

Small-molecule compound-based therapies have provided new insights into cancer treatment against mitochondrial impairment. N6-furfuryladenosine (kinetin riboside, KR) is a purine derivative and an anticancer agent that selectively affects the molecular pathways crucial for cell growth and apoptosis

Betulinic acid (BA), a pentacyclic triterpenoid, is gaining unmatched attention owing to its unique anti-cancer activity with selective melanoma growth inhibition without damaging normal cells. It is also well-known for its multifaceted pharmacokinetics, entailing antibacterial, antimalarial,
